Is there a written Tutorial for making charts in AOO 4.1.2?
Yes: Chapter 3 "Creating Charts and Graphs: Presenting information visually" in the Calc Guide. See

I want to make a pie chart.
There's a section on pie charts.
I have a list of country names and numbers: 390 CA 337 GB 286 NL [...]Calc appears to handle the CA GB NL as second column of data, but doesn't know how to assign them values.
You need to swap the order of your columns: to have the labels to the left of the values.
I would like the chart to have a key that shows the colors of the segment and has the Country Code beside it:[purple] CA [green] GB [yellow] NL
Tick "Display legend" in the fourth step ("Chart Elements") of the Chart Wizard.
Is there a way to rotate the pie, so that I can pick which segments are in front?
Reorder your data. The segments appear to be presented starting at the top and working anticlockwise.
Can the colors be changed?
Yes - at Tools | Options... | Charts | Default Colours.
How do I get a title to appear in the Chart?
Add it in the fourth step ("Chart Elements") of the Chart Wizard.
Separately:I've had problems keeping titles at the tops of spreadsheets. When reopened, they often end up below the table.
Really?You can create titles by entering them into suitable spreadsheet cells - or suitable merged cells. You can also enter a header at Format | Page... | Header | Edit... and similarly for a footer. I don't see why any of these should move around.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker - privately --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
